The answer is no, of course. So on this, my second day of official vacation from my XM Radio show, I picked up a few great 78s. I was very pleased to find LaVern Baker doing a great version of &#8220;Trying&#8221;, uncredited with the Todd Rhodes Orch backing her up as well as Sam Cooke doing his great rendition of &#8220;Summertime&#8221; as the original flip of &#8220;You Send Me&#8221;. No Cardinals 78s today though. I still sit at 6 out of 12 Cardinals 78s on Atlantic. Someday&#8230;.someday. Still, going through stacks of 78s on one&#8217;s vacation is OK with me. I also finally found a mono copy of Rolling Stones &#8220;Now!&#8221; on London as well as Art Blakey &#038; The Jazz Messengers &#8220;The Big Beat&#8221; on Blue Note.
